Maudie

(1997) live action super 8 film

Synposis
Whether forced or chosen to be silenced - every moment - every sound is magnified.
The cracks become tears - the pinpricks become holes - the utterances become screams.
Unspoken words are etched on the inside clearly visible to the self.
There is no escape.
This is about a moment - in time, where there is no ending, or really no beginning, like it has always been this way.
This is about isolation, isolation from the spoken word.
This is about torment.
Torture.
Manipulation.
